whats up over the weekend somebody attempted to rob my car so my front passenger door handle is jacked up so i am trying to weigh my options...any suggestions and feedback would be greatly appreciated. :bow:

option #1 i was thinking about putting rear door handles on the front i honestly never used my keyholes so since i gotta fix that handle i was wondering if i can put rear door handles on the front without any problem.

option #2 i was also thinking of taking my car to my body man to see if he can fix my door handle and also shave the keyholes off both my driver and passenger front doors.

I took the lazy man approach, keytechniques keyhole covers. Last time I took it to the dealer they left a note on the car saying DO NOT LOCK because with the battery disconnected for working on it they couldn't get in. :rofl: I don't think they realized the covers pop back out.

yea i know about the keyhole cover...my passender handle is ____ed. somebody tried to pry it open to get in my car and they failed...thats why im asking my question....looks like im going to need to post pics of the damage so you guys can understand the reasoning for my question...

Well, I know on the 2gen xB there are a set of Lexus handles that fit it in chrome, maybe another model handle will fit the xB?

i know someone did what ya said and put the rears up front but cant seem to find it anywho the rears are not as long as the fronts or vise versa cant remember from when i changed mine out,,also think of this first ,if ya have no keyholes or handles then your window will be the next target and thiefs usally hit out the small windows wich cost more than a door glass
